Is there any reason to watch the rest of the season? we know the end result

What are you talking about? How about Randy Moss going there?

I doubt your prediction will come true. The NBAs best eras were when they were dominated by a couple of teams (80s Celtics and Lakers, 90s Bulls, 00s Lakers and Spurs, now Warriors Cavs). You are projecting how you feel onto everyone else.

That was a trade of a 4th round pick for a 30 year old WR coming off the worst season of his career by far. Not really "colluding" to get the best talent.

Well you never know bc look what happened last year. The Cavs had a miracle comeback. The way the past year has been in sports I will take odds on the rest of the league and you can take GS.

But the Patriots didn't collude. They are just great. The NBA is in a worse state because SuperStars are joining forces. Something they didn't do before. You had plenty of talent distribution in the league before.

You bring up the NFL and most will agree the last season, the NFL has suffered. The NBA will inevitably suffer. We will probably 5 straight Finals featuring the Cavs/Wariors.

It's not like we haven't seen it before. The NBA has always been top heavy. Not sure why you and others are just realizing it now.

Also, 2008 & 2010.

The Celtics won the first 8 -- but Lakers won the last 3 of 4.

Yeah that's the kind of stuff people go all weak in the knees for when Magic Johnson did it. James does and no one cares. Because he's the least appreciated superduperstar in NBA history.

LEBron is just so polarizing. a lot of people get rubbed the wrong way.

that pass was just insane though...wiggins makes a play on it if its in front of him or behind him- he was just shocked it went right through the wickets.

It was a good pass but in my opinion it was an obvious low risk high reward situation. If it doesn't go through Wiggins legs it's probably a kicked ball ball violation or out of bounds on Minnesota. I guarantee that's exactly what went through LeBrons head.

That's more because when Magic did it, it was new (or at least new to most people since the NBA wasn't televised nearly as much back then). Magic was doing things no one had seen before, especially from someone his size.

It's also not that Lebron is so much unappreciated as it, as Wiggy points out, he's a very polarizing player. Very few people question how great a player he is, but many don't like him, which he brings on himself most of the time.
